Leading Sub-Forums and Sharing Shenzhen’s Industry-Research Wisdom

This forum featured eight major summit sessions. The Shenzhen Pinghu Laboratory not only participated deeply in the Strategic Compound Semiconductor Material Technology Summit but also co-organized the New Quality Semiconductor Power Electronics Technology and Application Summit. In its role as an academic leader, the laboratory actively promoted technical exchange and industrial synergy.

01 Sub-Forum: Focusing on Ultra-Wide Bandgap Semiconductors and Sharing Frontier Research Progress

At the Strategic Compound Semiconductor Material Technology Summit, Professor Zhang Daohua, Chief Scientist for Fourth-Generation Semiconductors at Shenzhen Pinghu Laboratory, was invited to deliver a keynote report titled "Latest Research Progress in Ultra-Wide Bandgap Semiconductors." The presentation focused on core ultra-wide bandgap (UWBG) materials such as gallium oxide, diamond, and aluminum nitride. Professor Zhang systematically shared the laboratory’s latest breakthroughs in material preparation, performance optimization, and technical problem-solving. These insights provide critical material and technical references for the industrialization of fourth-generation semiconductor technology, helping China seize the initiative in the frontier field of ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors.

02 Sub-Forum: Concentrating Efforts on New Quality Semiconductor Breakthroughs and Exploring Paths for Industrial Success

As one of the co-organizers of the New Quality Semiconductor Power Electronics Technology and Application Summit, Shenzhen Pinghu Laboratory joined forces with top-tier universities and leading enterprises—including Peking University, Anhui YOFC Advanced Semiconductor, and Suzhou Enkris Semiconductor—to lead the establishment of a high-end exchange platform. The forum focused on how new quality semiconductor power electronics technology empowers emerging scenarios such as AI and the Low-Altitude Economy, and engaged in in-depth discussions on core topics including new material devices, failure mechanisms, and reliability design.

Wan Yuxi, Director of the laboratory, served as the Executive Chair of the forum and participated in the roundtable dialogue. Addressing industry focal points such as the pros and cons of Silicon Carbide, Gallium Nitride, and Gallium Oxide technical routes, the potential of emerging application scenarios, and bottlenecks in industrial scaling, Director Wan shared unique insights based on the laboratory’s scientific research and pilot-scale production (pilot line) practices. These insights provided important references for industrial technology route selection and collaborative resource allocation.

III. Deepening Presence in Frontier Sectors and Demonstrating the Platform’s Mission and Responsibility

Since its inception, Shenzhen Pinghu Laboratory has consistently focused on tackling key core technologies in Silicon Carbide (SiC), Gallium Nitride (GaN), and next-generation advanced power semiconductors. The laboratory has established the world’s first 8-inch third-generation semiconductor open-sharing platform that integrates scientific research with pilot-scale production. It has developed full-chain R&D and pilot capabilities—spanning from materials and devices to applications—and is committed to building a world-leading innovation hub for compound semiconductors.

Its deep participation in the 2026 Jiufengshan Forum serves as a critical footnote to the laboratory’s commitment to practicing national strategies and leading technological innovation. Moving forward, the laboratory will continue to be rooted in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, collaborate nationwide, and engage globally. By standing at the forefront of industrial development, Shenzhen Pinghu Laboratory aims to help China’s compound semiconductor industry achieve global leadership.
